“I struggle to stay focused, and this timer has actually really helped me improve the amount of time that I go without getting distracted. You can set how long you want to work between breaks, and having the timer out on my desk reminds me not to stray from working. It’s also nice because I will usually get distracted by sending texts or checking social media, but it deters me from doing that because I have the timer right on my phone.”
